Customer Reviews:

Superb 3 CD set of the jazz clarinet of this great Maestro.......2005-08-15

Although I have many CD's and vinyl records of the music of this remarkable genius this would be one of the best value items I have acquired, featuring many numbers not previously available on what I already have. The enclosed booklet with the CD set is very informative giving a story on every tune recorded along with some pictures I have never seen before of Artie with members of his band, even one on the back cover with Count Basie, Buddy Rich and Tommy Dorsey. What a find, can thoroughly recommend this item to any devotee of the great Artie Shaw.

Best band Shaw ever led..........2003-04-08

Unlike his 1930s and 1940/41 outfits, this was a bigger conventional swing band with eight brass and five saxes plus Artie himself. The arrangements were far more modern, and better recorded. The scoring on many tracks highlights the attack of the brass section against the richer, darker sax section which is thrilling - and, the balance is dynamic for the period. Remember this is contemporary to Glenn Miller's AEF Band, but rooted in jazz and more progressive. Also, Shaw's virtuosity is unimpaired, and his solos are great. Buy and enjoy!
